Method

To make the meat sauce, heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the beef in two batches for about 10 mins until browned all over. Finely chop 4 slices of prosciutto, then stir through the meat mixture.

Pour over our basic tomato sauce and stock, add the nutmeg, then season. Bring up to the boil, then simmer for 30 mins until the sauce looks rich.

Heat oven to 180C/fan/160C/gas 4. Lightly oil an ovenproof dish (about 30 x 20cm). Spoon one third of the meat sauce into the dish, then cover with lasagne sheets. Drizzle over about one quarter of our classic white sauce.

Repeat until you have 3 layers of pasta. Cover with the remaining white sauce, making sure you can’t see any pasta poking through.

Scatter the mozzarella over the top. Arrange the rest of the prosciutto on top. Bake for 45 mins until the top is bubbling and lightly browned.

Comments, questions and tips

I'm pretty sure the tomato sauce recipe has changed, didn't it use white wine in it? And some herbs maybe?

It has changed and while both recipes are great I prefer the original - see 8david8 below for the original

Am I imagining it or have the recipes for the white sauce and the tomato sauce changed? I remember blitzing the tomato sauce, and I don't remember infusing the milk for the white sauce. Other than that great recipe, I keep coming back to it!

I'm with you on this! The recipes used to be part of the tips section. Wonder if there's a way to find the original.

Amazing recipe, i used a jarred white sauce as i was feeling lazy, but the homemade tomato sauce makes this recipe and is very easy to make. have added this to one of our family favourites; my kids 8 and 6 loved this.

Absolutely delicious.
I used jarred Bolognese and white sauce rather than home made (Simply because I had to use them up) and this came out really nice.
I can only imagine it'll be even better with home made sauces. I will be sure to try it again like this very soon!

Tasted great but I don't understand why the recipe is to make double the amount of tomato sauce needed and then says that half of it can be frozen...

It saves time when you make it again. I might even start making 4 times the amount!!!

Cracking recipe. Surprisingly simple too. I played around with the cheeses on top which seemed to work well.

Fantastic lasagne recipe! This was my first time making a lasagne and I found the recipe easy to follow with great results! I was a bit anxious as I was cooking for 11 people (and so made 2 lasagnes...one set of sauces) I prepared them in advance, froze them and once cooked they turned out beautifully. I added worcester sauce to the beef when frying and seasoned my white sauce with plenty of salt, pepper and a bit of nutmeg. Like others,I found it did need quite a bit more milk than the recipe suggests. Nonetheless, Delicious!

I don't want to use white wine, what could I use as an alternative? Thank you :)

I can't seem to access the tomato sauce part, white sauce part is ok but nothing happens when I tap next arrow for Tom sauce.

If cooked from frozen can it be reheated the next day?
Many thanks

Hi maryyoung, if the lasagne is kept in the fridge after it has been cooked and cooled down and if it is heated throughly the next day so that it is piping hot it should be absolutely fine to serve. Hope this helps.

So just to clarify, to make just one Lasagne: halve ALL the ingrediants (recipe and both sauces in the Tip section)?
Or just halve the sauces in the Tip section?
Thanks

Hi there thanks for your question. You just need to halve the quantities of both the sauces in the tip boxes.

Hello, I was just wondering of by lwaving the wine out it would make a huge difference and what to use instead as my 9month old will be eating this ( I know the alcohol burns off) and I personally dont like wine so dont have it to hand. I have loved all your other recipes cant wait to tey this and its perfect as I need to freeze so partner can 'cook'
